Man Chen said as a matter of course: "The slave girl just told her that the empress has sent secret guards to investigate, and she will definitely find out before Mrs. Shu finds out."
"She believed it?" Concubine Shen raised her eyebrows, Bi Yan didn't know her relationship with the emperor.
"Just let her believe it."
The emperor is special to the imperial concubine, as long as he calls, Bi Yan will realize it. Then let Bi Yan believe that the emperor attaches great importance to this child. In order to ensure the safety of the child, the emperor will definitely spare no effort to find out who dares to threaten the palace people around Concubine Shen.
In this way, sooner or later it will be found. Moreover, Bi Yan didn't know how strong the Royal Dark Guard was, but she could figure it out. Maybe they could rescue Qing Yuan's family safely.
When the time comes, she refuses to say anything, but instead suffers an extra period of time and is tossed by Man Chen and the others in various ways. Bi Yan's mouth was tight, but she didn't think she could last for many days.
Instead of suffering, it is better to take the initiative.
Shen Yuqing nodded, and once again looked at Manchen with admiration, she was indeed an all-round court lady at the same level as Jinli. Usually, it does not show the mountains and does not show the water, but it is really useful at critical moments.
After uncovering this topic, Shen Guifei asked again: "How did Bi Yan find Qing Yuan's family?"
It is impossible to do it suddenly, even if it is done suddenly, Madam Shu will definitely alarm Concubine Shen if she wants to check the situation of Qing Yuan's family. But no, Qingyuan has no contact with the outside world, if you don't reach out to Jianjia Palace, you won't be able to find out about Qingyuan's family.
On this point, Man Chen naturally did not miss it, and she immediately replied: "Your Majesty, do you still remember Rong En on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?"
"Can the palace servants meet with their family members at Baihumen to catch up on the old days?" Concubine Shen was stunned, "It turns out that Bi Yan is eyeing Qing Yuan at this time."
I'm afraid that she has her eyes on all the palace people in Jianjia Palace, but she didn't expect that other people's family members can't move. Either lost track, or difficult to start. Only Qing Yuan was unlucky to be selected.
Concubine Shen frowned: "In the future, no one is allowed to stare at the Baihu Gate."
"There is no one at all." Man Chen said softly, "To go to Baihumen, you have to go through the forbidden building. The palace's eyeliner is watching."
I said before that the Liushang Palace opened a door on the south side to facilitate the transportation of supplies from the House of Internal Affairs to the harem. But guarded by the imperial guards, they are not allowed to pass through at will.
Can't pass through, but can see the situation of Baihumen through this door. However, the opening time of this door is relatively short, and it may not be just right.
Concubine Shen Guifei thought about it, and felt that someone must have put eyeliner outside the Baihu Gate.
"Strengthen the martial law outside the White Tiger Gate."
It's really hard to find it among the people who are among the common people and other children in the palace. But if someone stays for a long time, they will be noticed that something is wrong, unless the people behind let several people take turns to sneak into the crowd and stare at them.
"If they do make such a big deal, then let them do it."
It is definitely impossible to prevent completely, so we can only prepare as much as possible.
Manchen nodded and accepted the order, and went down to discuss with Miss Jinli.
It only took a short day for the dark guard to check the location of Qingyuan's family. When Shen Yuqing saw the two dark guards again, they said that the two of them could not take all the family of four away and needed support.
Shen Guifei naturally came to ask His Majesty the Emperor for two hidden guards, and went with the previous two to rescue him. Afterwards, he was sent to the Shen family in Zuo Xiangfu to work. With the protection of the Shen family, there was no need to worry.
Concubine Shen casually pointed out a hidden guard to send Qing Yuan to visit her family, lest this kid not see anyone and run amok.
After such a toss, it was three days after the dust settled. As for Mrs. Shu, naturally she couldn't calm down either.
"You said Qing Yuan's family members disappeared?!" Mrs. Shu almost smashed a set of porcelain utensils.
The disappearance of Qing Yuan's family can only mean that Concubine Shen Gui found out about Qing Yuan being bribed. Madam Shu was most terrified, but how did Concubine Shen find out the location of Qingyuan's family
Since Shen Yuqing has this ability, then in the future, if she seizes her family and threatens her, there will be no threat to Shen Yuqing. Those whose family members have been arrested will also consciously find Concubine Shen, tell the matter, and wait for the concubine to rescue the family members.
Could it be that Bi Yan betrayed her
The more Mrs. Shu thought about it, the more she felt it was possible, but at the moment she couldn't do anything. Concubine Shen has her handle, she is not sure the extent of Bi Yan's surrender, whether she only mentioned the location of Qing Yuan's family, or who is the master behind her.
"Your Majesty, don't be impatient." The palace maid hurriedly comforted her, "Even if that lowly servant girl Bi Yan has confessed, she has no proof!"
Mrs. Shu didn't leave any tokens for Bi Yan, and Bi Yan rarely received orders from Mrs. Shu's side, and she unilaterally passed them on. Now that they found out that Bi Yan might have betrayed them, they would naturally not send anyone to get the news from Bi Yan, nor would they send any news to Bi Yan. As a result, Bi Yan's statement cannot be counted without evidence to support it.
After figuring this out, Mrs. Shu heaved a sigh of relief: "Let's pass on the news that Bi Yan was given up by me, so don't worry about her anymore."
"yes!"
Here in the Jianjia Palace, Biyan is still tossing around leisurely.
As long as they think of how many messages this woman has sent out, everyone will itch with hatred. Even if Bi Yan obediently revealed the location of Qing Yuan's family, she couldn't save her.
Nobody lynched her these days, but she was locked up in a small room and wasn't doing well.
"What is your empress going to do with Bi Yan?" Man Chen asked.
Shen Yuqing thought for a while: "Throw it to the prison, don't kill people, it will be useful in the future."
The person was rescued, and the snake had already been frightened, so there was no need to pretend that nothing happened. Anyway, he couldn't fool anyone, so he was thrown directly into the prison.
Now is not the time to deal with Mrs. Shu, but Shen Yuqing is not in a hurry. After Concubine Mi cleaned up, Madam Shu still wanted to escape
She did so many things behind the scenes, if it wasn't for the sake of her ancestors, she would have "died of illness" long ago. But the affection of the ancestors won't last long, Mrs. Shu's ancestors' feats and affection for the Tai | ancestors are not much left at this moment.
Bi Yan went to the prison, as long as she wants to come out again, she will be obedient. When he turned around to deal with Mrs. Shu, she stood up and made a point of denouncing her, and then nothing happened to her.
If she is obedient, she will naturally be given a chance to change her ways after the incident is over, and let her go to the dirtiest and tiring place in the palace to mix up again. If you say that you are not good, you will stay in prison for the rest of your life.
A few days later, Princess Qingping entered the palace, and Concubine Shen took Shen Yuxun to Shoukang Palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.
The other three girls were taken out of the palace during this period of time, because a noble lady held a lotus appreciation banquet recently. This noble lady is one of the few daughters of county kings in Beijing, and she was favored by the former emperor because of her sweet mouth and good manners. She was made a princess at a young age and was also given a lotus garden.
But now she doesn't have so much face in front of the current emperor, and she doesn't dare to be as presumptuous as before, relying on the former emperor's favor to bully people everywhere. Now, after learning the rules with her tail tucked between her legs, she has become a top-notch figure among the aristocratic ladies in the capital.
Although she is not as good as many noble girls from aristocratic families, she is much better than the previous domineering.
The lotus garden is not too big or too small. There are more than a dozen lotus ponds in it, and all kinds of precious lotus are planted. Every summer, the princess will hold a lotus feast to show off her lotus garden. After the number of times increased, it gradually developed into a must-go banquet for noble ladies in the capital.
Although the sisters of the Xiao family disdain the lotus, but they can't stand the order of the mother, so they have to go if they don't want to. I had no choice but to bid farewell to my eldest cousin with tears in my eyes, went home to prepare for two days, and went to the lotus garden for a banquet.
Shen Yuxun didn't have to go there, there were some young girls over there. Those who already have a marriage contract and are about to get married don't have to join in the fun. If your husband's family is a sweet bun, it would be annoying to go there. Whether it's behind the scenes or on the surface, those girls might give you some trouble.
"Has Qixue gone?" Concubine Shen asked with great interest on the way.
Man Xing shook his head: "The princess thinks those girls' homes are too hypocritical, so she is not willing to go."
Concubine Shen Guichi chuckled: "Sure enough."
This girl Qixue only likes to have fun, and she doesn't care for the well-behaved lotus banquet. However, in order to show off that she has both ability and political integrity, the princess did not set up any interesting games, and there was not even a single pitching pot. The only entertainment was to play drums and pass flowers. Dozens of fake flowers made of silk are sent one by one in a round. The person who gets the flower will write a poem about the flower in his hand.
Let Qi Xue write poetry? You might as well wait for her to dream.
"This is a game that talented women love, and I don't like it either." Shen Yuxun said with a smile.
"Then what do you like?" Concubine Shen Gui was present, and suddenly teased her, "Do you like Shizi?"
Shen Yuxun's face turned red suddenly: "Cousin!"
The imperial concubine was not afraid of her, and the little girl who became angry from embarrassment broke out again, and there was no threat at all. She also continued to ask: "Do you want my cousin to arrange for you to meet and talk with the eldest son? We don't meet before marriage. What should we do if our personalities don't match after marriage?"
"No, there's no need..." Shen Yuxun's voice was soft, and he couldn't hear it clearly if he didn't listen carefully, "I've seen it..."
Tsk, have you seen it before? sure.
Although men and women don't pay much attention to the defense of men and women these days, unmarried couples generally don't get too close, they will be gossiped, and women feel that they hate marriage and are not reserved. Even if you don't gossip, you can't avoid round after round of teasing.
A young man with a thin skin, how can he bear this kind of ridicule? So simply hide away, so as not to be caught and laughed at.
"That's enough, I won't bother you, Shoukang Palace is here." The imperial concubine straightened her clothes, "Don't be too nervous when you see the empress dowager, she is a kind person, and she likes a beautiful girl like you. Your mother-in-law and The empress dowager has a good relationship, so naturally the empress dowager will not embarrass you."
The heat that had just subsided on Shen Yuxun's face rose again, what is "your mother-in-law"? Cousin is so annoying!
"Imperial Concubine." It was still Mammy Fu who came out to greet her personally, and helped Concubine Shen to come down.
The imperial concubine smiled kindly, without any usual airs: "Is the queen mother free now?"
"The Empress Dowager is idle, Princess Qingping is also inside to accompany the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and Second Miss Shen just go in."
"That's good." Concubine Shen turned her head to greet her cousin, "Hurry up and follow, the empress dowager doesn't eat people."
Shen Yuxun followed obediently with small steps, and the rules were not bad at all, which made Nanny Fu nod secretly.
It is rare for the Shen family to have a well-behaved girl, and it is also thanks to the very well-behaved mother of the Second Miss Shen. Don't you see what kind of painting styles do Mrs. Xiao, the aunt of the Shen family, and Miss Shen have? One is more indulgent than the other, but they have a good heart.
Entering the hall, one can see two middle-aged beautiful women chatting at a glance, looking at the picture harmoniously. Concubine Shen directly pulled her cousin forward to salute the Queen Mother.
"Mother Wanan."
"The courtier pays her respects to the Empress Dowager, and to Princess Qingping."
Princess Qingping also stood up and bowed to the imperial concubine.
After all four of them sat down, the queen mother looked at Shen Yuxun with joy in her heart, and couldn't help but said to the princess: "The daughter-in-law you chose is really good. The Ai family likes it after seeing it. I really want to keep her in Ai's house." around."
It's not a polite word, the Queen Mother really likes this kind of well-behaved little girl with clear eyes. As long as she thinks of Qi Xue, who went to the house to expose the tiles in her family, she will have a headache. In her dreams, she wants her daughter to become as well-behaved and sensible as Shen Yuxun.
Princess Qingping didn't give in: "That's impossible, how can I let my daughter-in-law give it to you? The kid in my family doesn't think about tea every day. He can't wait to marry him back tomorrow, and let him know that I left my daughter-in-law in the house." The Shoukang Palace is here, I'm afraid I'm going to go on a hunger strike."
Being teased by the two bosses, Shen Yuxun was at a loss and didn't know how to deal with it. Fortunately, her cousin, who always liked to watch people joke, didn't get involved and let her go.
At the critical moment, the cousin was reliable, and the imperial concubine opened her mouth to divert the topic, allowing Shen Yuxun to breathe.
Not only that, but the imperial concubine can also tease the two bosses in turn.
To the empress dowager: "Mother concubine looks pretty good recently, but girl Qixue has behaved a lot recently?"
Empress Dowager: "..."
Please don't mention the stupid daughter.
A word to Princess Qingping: "I heard that a few days ago someone gave the prince a beauty, but the prince refused to accept it, and said that he only loves the princess in his life. It is really enviable."
Princess Qingping: "..."
She'd better withdraw from those who wouldn't even let her elders go. I am afraid, I dare not face up.
The bullying of the junior was unsuccessful, and another junior who protected his shortcomings bullied him back. Shen Yuxun tried her best to keep calm and not let herself laugh, her heart was sweet, and she felt a sense of peace of mind being protected.
After the imperial concubine and the queen mother had confronted each other for two or three rounds, they finally waved her big hand to let her and Princess Qingping go to the next door to have a private conversation. Shen Yuxun took a deep breath, with a sense of mission, trying to control the overly serious expression on his face, and went to the next door with the princess.
They had a meal at Shoukang Palace at noon, and then they dispersed.
Concubine Shen touched her stomach for four months, after getting used to it, it didn't affect her actions very much, she subconsciously ignored it. I also ran into a few concubines on the way, and skipped over without chatting with them.
After returning to the Jianjia Palace, the empress suddenly sent a message, saying that she was going to prepare for the summer palace this year in advance.
Since he was leaving the palace, it was inconvenient to continue to bring Shen Yuxun with him. Concubine Shen Gui asked to pack her luggage and go back to Shen's house, and even gave her a lot of good things as a face.
At the beginning of June, Concubine Xi and Madam Shu stayed in the imperial palace, while the Empress Dowager, Empress, Concubine Shen, Concubine Mi, and Concubine Xiang went to the summer palace to escape the heat.
Regarding this, the two ladies who stayed behind expressed that they were not happy, but they still wanted to send everyone away with a smile.
This time I left early, I left at the beginning of June, the Longevity Festival and the Thousand-year-old Banquet will probably be held in the palace at the end of June. However, before leaving, His Majesty the Emperor said that the war had just ended and it was not easy to enjoy extravagantly, so he canceled the Longevity Festival and the Thousand-year-old Banquet, and planned to spend it casually with the concubines in the palace.
Naturally, the censor jumped out and said that it was not in line with the ancestral system, but His Majesty's excuse was so good that many civil officials agreed with it very much. Yu Shi talked for a long time but no one agreed with him, so he obediently shut up.
This year's Longevity Day was very uneventful. Apart from the fact that several concubines came out to compete for favor, there was nothing interesting.
Concubine Xiang didn't know how her brain grew, she was very active in the palace as the empress dowager's niece, and she seemed to expect the empress dowager to support her. As a result, after accidentally offending Concubine Mi, the Empress Dowager had no intention of helping her at all, and let her be tortured by Concubine Mi for nothing.
That night, Xiang concubine complained to His Majesty the Emperor crying. His Majesty the Emperor reprimanded Concubine Mi, but there was no substantive punishment.
The concubine was still a little dissatisfied, but if she mentioned the emperor later, she would change the topic. After many times, she also knew that there was nothing she could do, so she could only give up.
However, if she gave up, Concubine Mi would not give up. This woman caused him to be scolded by His Majesty the Emperor, how could she give him a good face? Naturally, he continued to toss even harder, to vent his anger for himself.
She also broke the jar, anyway, the emperor just reprimanded her, and she won't lose her flesh after being reprimanded, so what are you afraid of
So after the Longevity Festival, the whole palace was full of chaos. Concubine Mi and Concubine Xiang refused to give in to each other, wishing to pinch each other every day.
After all, Concubine Xiang didn't follow the path of being cute and pitiful. As a naive and delicate little cousin, she naturally had to vent her anger. Which little girl can hold back when she is wronged? It's justified to go back face to face.
The two fought each other all summer.
The imperial concubine said: There are a lot of melons, and I am satisfied with eating.
That is, the stomach has changed from four months to six months, and I am happy.
His Majesty the Emperor had a headache, and was upset when he saw these two women. The two of them seemed to ignore their anger, and they could get angry in front of him, without caring about their own image at all.
So today, the emperor ran to Concubine Shen Gui to hide for peace.
It was still the same courtyard as last year, Concubine Shen, Empress and Princess Qingxi shared the site, and the concubine was paralyzed in the room eating watermelon, not at all interested in welcoming the emperor.
"It's so hot." The imperial concubine said lazily.
There was a ball on her stomach, and although she was insulated with ice silk cloth, she still felt extremely hot under psychological influence.
His Majesty the Emperor didn't bother with her, and sat around her directly.
"I thought you would be at Miss Huang's place."
Concubine Shen threw away the toothpick in her hand irritably: "You think I don't want to? Qiu Shui despises the heat in my body."
She herself was insulated from the heat, but there was no ice silk cloth outside, and when Fu Qiushui touched her belly, she hated the heat and panicked. Now I don't give her hugs anymore, the imperial concubine is very upset. But the anger can't be directed at the daughter-in-law, it can only be directed at the emperor.
His Majesty the Emperor: "..."
"And those women, I'm so annoying, staring at this place all day long, I can't find a chance to sneak to Qiushui."
After all, the two of them are pretending to be falling out now, they can't keep visiting, they can only pass by quietly. However, this stomach is too inconvenient. The six-month-old fetus is really big, which affects the movement.
Two irritable people look at each other silently, and don't hurt each other if they get it.
Sitting silently eating fruit, waiting for Manchen and the others to toss the ice bowl over. Originally, Shen Yuqing could use the ice basin, which was cooler, but she was pretending to be pregnant, so naturally she couldn't always use the ice basin.
In short, the more I think about it, the more irritable I get.
Fortunately, Manchen came quickly, and after drinking two bowls of ice water, most of the anger disappeared.
"It just happened to happen, so let's go according to the original plan." Concubine Shen regained her composure, "Now let the Shen family clean up, and after returning to the palace, you can visit your relatives."
His Majesty the Emperor thought so deeply, so he raised his hand and asked someone to invite the imperial physician.
The head of the imperial hospital rushed over quickly, felt the pulse of the concubine who was lying on the cool couch, and made up a very polite way: "Your Majesty, this is something on your mind, and it's stuck in your heart. It's better to think about it as soon as possible. Otherwise it is not good for the fetus."
His Majesty the Emperor nodded in satisfaction, his face was full of worry: "Aifei has something on his mind? Why don't you tell me? What Aifei wants, I will naturally find it for you."
Shen Guifei felt goosebumps from what he said, and hurriedly acted: "The concubine has nothing on her mind, it's just..."
Hesitant to speak and stop, hesitant to speak, a person who is anxious to death.
"Your Majesty, do you miss your family?" the empathetic imperial physician asked.
Concubine Shen Gui nodded slowly, then looked at His Majesty the Emperor with a haggard and pitiful look: "Your Majesty..."
Seeing this, His Majesty the Emperor also trembled in his heart, he was no better than Concubine Shen Gui.
He coughed dryly and frowned tightly. However, seeing Aifei's expectant eyes, he couldn't help but "soften his heart", sighed and comforted: "Aifei takes care of herself, after returning to Beijing, I will accompany you back to Shen's house."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shen Guifei stretched out her hand to hold His Majesty's hand, and the two looked at each other affectionately for a long time.
The surrounding light bulbs stepped back in a sensible manner, leaving space for the two big men.
Then.
The emperor let go of Shen Yuqing with a snap, and Shen Yuqing shook off his salty pig's hand with a snap. The two turned their heads to calm down the emotions of being overwhelmed by each other.
